This chapter includes some characters from the previous chapter. It also includes a discussion about Wands ... and Ash and Gary getting their wands. But wait till you see how they travel to Hogwarts. I might be taking a page of J.K. Rowling's books for that section but it is going to be funny.

-John 'Tenchi' Fimont

So sit back, relax and review.

Chapter 10

Old Visitors from the Pokemon World and Wands with Pokemon Style

Ash and Gary had woken up in separate rooms. They couldn't believe what was going on. It was two days ago since they received their letters to Hogwarts. Who know that magic ran in their family? Ash couldn't see it coming from his mother side and he didn't know about his father so basically that left him at a dead end. Gary knew very few about his parents so Gary was puzzled too. Well, today was the day that both trainers would finish their shopping and get their wands. The two went downstairs and ate breakfast in a private booth. Then the conversation began.

"I wonder how someone makes a wand. I mean I never understood how pokeballs were made until I encountered Kurt and his Aprikorn Pokeballs." Ash said.

"Pokeballs are one thing but wands are another. I bet it takes years to make a wand. It probably takes months or weeks to make a Pokeball." Gary suggested.

"Well, we probably should finish this breakfast so we can buy our books plus wands." Ash said.

"Yeah, too bad that they don't have a electronic versions of the books. Then I could use my Palm Pilot. It will be tough to carry all those books around." Gary replied.

"Maybe there is a spell that can make them shrink in size. So you wouldn't have back pain from hauling all those heavy books around." Ash suggested.

"Maybe we should ask Hermione. She seems to know a lot about magic but first let's get the show on the road." Gary agreed as the two got up.

The two headed towards the backdoor. They remembered the order that Hagrid did when he tapped the wall to get it to open but how would they get it to open? There didn't have a wand or an umbrella. That's when Hagrid came out. He tapped the walls and they went to Flourish and Blots. They were supposed to pick up the books. They wondered what they were going to learn. Learning about Pokemon was one thing but learning about magic was another. What type of spells could you do? Were there bad spells? The thought kept on swirling in their minds until they reached Flourish and Blots. Hagrid opened the door and they stepped inside.

"They are sure a lot of books here. How do we know what books are we supposed to get?" Ash wondered.

"Maybe we should check the list. It will ... Ash, turn your attention towards the table towards your left." Gary said as he looked shocked.

Ash turned his head and his mouth almost dropped. It couldn't be, Ash thought. It must be an illusion. But it wasn't because Ash's eyes weren't playing tricks on him. Three people were sitting at a table signing books. These weren't any people. These were people from their world. On the left was Will the Psychic Trainer of the Elite Four. In the middle was Agatha who was a previous member of the Elite Four who used Ghost Type Pokemon. And finally on the right was Lily the Pokemon Witch Ash encountered. What on earth were they doing here, Ash thought.

"Wow, isn't it amazing that those three are new teachers at Hogwarts? Although Lily seems to be a little young to be the new Potions Teacher." Hagrid boasted.

"You have go to be joking, Hagrid." Gary said.

"Nope, I never joke. Though I am bad at keeping secrets." Hagrid replied.

"Yeah, remind me to never tell you a very important secret ever. Excuse us Hagrid, we need to talk to the new Hogwarts teachers." Ash said.

Ash and Gary picked up the required books. Then they walked over to the table like they were going to get the books signed but they had hidden agendas. The two trainers wanted to find out why Will, Agatha and Lily were doing here in this world. Were they here to rescue them? If they were, why pose as teachers for Hogwarts? All these questions were floating around in their heads. The three new teachers looked up at the people that they were going to sign their books for, but they stopped.

"Well, well, well, look what the portal has dragged in." Ash sneered.

"Yes, might we ask what you three are doing?" Gary asked.

"Okay, the jig is up. We were sent to check up on you." Will explained.

"We were to make sure that you were safe until Celebi returns to open a portal back to our world." Agatha said.

"So to make we keep a eye on you two, we decided to pose as Hogwarts teachers after we learned that you were Hogwarts students" Lily sighed, "and no, we had nothing to do with you two getting Hogwarts letters. We aren't that creative."

"You mean you are waiting the time out until Celebi comes. Isn't that a bit dangerous? This world is dangerous, you know." Gary said.

"Not if you are wizards or witches." The three teachers said.

"You know magic ... Lily, why didn't you say you knew true magic? And the other two, how come it never came up in the meetings. I meet both Lorelei and Agatha but we never got to know much about these new and former Elite Four Members." Ash asked while scratching his head.

"We were sworn never to reveal we both learned and were skilled in magic. The Pokemon World wasn't ready for it." Agatha explained.

"We had to keep it a secret. If Giovanni knew about magic, he could find a way to darken the planet. We already have Voldemort to worry about but we don't want another Dark Lord." Will shake while picturing the thought of Giovanni as a Dark Lord.

"As for me, I really wanted people to believe that Pokemon could inhibit magic. I am surprised that Ash didn't notice the magic. I sensed that Ash was magical and I needed to test it. That's why Ash became a Pikachu. It was because he is of magical nature. Unfortunately, it wasn't a permanent spell. I thought Pikachu was Ash's Animagus or Animal Form, but it was just a temporary spell." Lily told both Trainers and the Elite Four Members.

"Okay, you guys and gals are going way over our heads with all these magical terms. We don't even understand what you are talking about." Ash said while scratching his head.

"But worry Ash, in a couple months or so, you will get the hang of it. We hope that you don't stay a year. The Pokemon World needs you both and your pokemon." Lily replied.

Both Gary and Ash agreed with this, although the two were both confused. They paid for both of their books and left the shop. Hagrid headed backed towards the Leaky Cauldron trying to keep his lips shut but with Hagrid, nothing remains a secret for long. The two started to walk down the street. They looked at their list. They had gotten everything already except one item. All they needed now were wands. The wand shop, which was called Ollivander's, was at the end of the street. It was a small shop on the outside and was probably cramped. Both two trainers entered the shop.

"Hello, is anyone here?" Ash asked.

Then an old man stepped out behind a bookcase. He was probably here and we didn't see him, Ash asked. Ollivander was looking at the two boys. He was thinking where he had seen them before. Then the thought popped into his mind. It was their fathers who had came into the store. Yes, these two boys must be their father's sons. He stepped towards the counter and stared at them. That's when he spoke.

"Well, I had a feeling you two would be here." Ollivander said.

"How?" Ash asked.

"I knew both of your fathers. Yes, they were rivals probably like you two are but they became best friends. They were both skillful in everything including Pokemon. Why are you surprised? There are people here who know about Pokemon but it is only a select few." Ollivander explained.

"So this is the point where we get our wands, right?" Gary asked.

"Yes, let's see who goes first. Yes, Mr. Ash Ketchum, maybe you should go first? I knew your father. He was a bold man. I can't remember his name but there was pureness in his heart. He was courageous of course. How can you not be courageous when training dangerous pokemon? Now stick out your wand hand." Ollivander said to Ash.

Ash stuck out his right hand since that was his Pokeball hand. It took several tries and several wands but Ash found his wand. It was Willow Wand with Ho-oh Feathers and Rayquaza Scales. Ash was kind of surprised to see elements from Pokemon in a Wand in a universe far far away but it was possible. Now it was Gary's turn. It took Gary a lot longer. Plus Gary got to know about his father. His father was a researcher just his Grandfather Professor Oak but his father had seen many more pokemon than any Professor today had seen. Gary's wand was an Oak wand with Arcanine Fur and Nidoqueen Scales. It was kind of funny that the elements from his wand were from creatures that he had caught and evolved. Both Ash and Gary paid for their wands and left.

"Wow, now we can do magic but it is going to a lot more difficult than training Pokemon." Ash said.

"Yes, I can't argue against that, Ash. I wonder if we will ever get home again." Gary said.

"We just have to click our shoes three times and say 'There's No Place like Home'." Ash joked.

"Very funny Ashy Boy. But I don't think that will work." Gary commented.

"Well, I was just trying to keep our spirits high." Ash said.

"Speaking of spirits high, let's stop by and celebrate our getting of wands by getting some ice cream." Gary commented.

"Now that's the first thing that I can't argue against, Gary. Lead on!" Ash said gleefully.

Ash and Gary headed down the streets of Diagon alley towards Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. According to Tom the inn keep of the Leaky Cauldron, it had the best Ice Cream ever. Ash and Gary had to go there and try its flavors. The two went down the streets with gifts in hand not realizing the dangers that they were about to face in the near future. But with Will, Agatha, Lily, Harry, Ron and Hermione by their sides, they would be able to get through it all. Even if it meant facing the greatest evil they have ever faced ... Voldemort.
